Add an index to a book

- [Voiceover] Once you've marked content…in your documents to appear in an index,…it's then time to actually add the index file to your book,…and once that's done,…it can be regenerated or updated…over and over again as you add to…or edit those entries.…So we just added markers to the Sewing Box document,…and as I previously mentioned,…markers have already been added to the other documents.…So now it's time to add the index file…and it is in fact a separate file.…So to do this, I'll click the name of the book file…across the top of the book panel…here on the left to select it,…then I'll come up to the Add menu,…and go to Index Of,…and you can see there are different types of indexes.…

We can create an index of authors,…so if we marked Authors in our content,…we can create an index of those,…or we can do an index of subjects,…we used Index Markers though,…so that's the one I'll select,…and that opens up the Set Up Index of Markers dialogue.…On the left-hand side you can see…no markers of any type have been included yet,…
